They should ask Christopher Nolan
this flick worth a watch?
feel like i should at least watch it in hd

Cool visuals but the story itself is pretty boring honestly. Purely made for entertainment. The chariot race was great though.
>>63567610
I'm gonna punch you. At least download a 1080p mkv. There is slow pace (it's +3h movie) but it still one of the greatest movie ever made by today's standards. It holds.
>the blu-ray is superb. Pic related.

Jackson pls go
>>63567692
Before is more pleasant to look at imho.
>>63567708
Ironically, CGI costs more than simple practical effects

DUDE SEPIA TONE LMAO

There were some tricks to make more people in the stadium. Some images composing, it was pretty elaborate at the time.
>>63567503
Nolan used 11 000 extras for the stadium sequence alone in Big Guy: the movie.

Why did you have to remind me
How the fuck did they manage to kill 200 horses?
>>63568511
It's not true.
>>63568644
It's true it was 100 horses tho. It's in the 1929 Ben Hur were 200 horses died, sorry to have mistaken.
Nope. Have you seen Martian behind the scene? I mean with modern technology you literally could make a film in your hostel with green screen
>>63568847
>>63568847
Dont know f.am they were not si much green screens : https://youtu.be/poPkOvffHPA
I'm not talking about practical effects ,these numbers were meant to show the escale of the movie. I wish they would make a big traditional peplum. The last one who was pretty good is Alexander.
>>63568511
>>63568644
Well it isn't many years since they had to cancel HBO's Luck since the horses in the show kept dying like flies.
>>63568644
I did not hit her
I did naaaaht
>>63567783
Is this really true or is this just Hollywood accounting?
>>63568511
It's fake.

Pay $50+a sandwich to an extra.
Pay a highly advanced software house its salary for a hollywood tier project.
Even with 10k people(which is a lot and with creative shooting can be made to look much more) it would be $500.000 for a huge army, while paying WETA or ILM would require at the very least milions to shit out "convincing" CGI.

for him
>The problems associated with the 1926 version and rumors of cover-ups prompted similar rumors in the press regarding the later film. Andrew Marton, director of the chariot scene in the 1959 version, exploded at a press conference, telling reporters that20 menand100 horseshad died while filming the race, adding "That's what you want to hear, isn't it?" This outburst apparently help feed the gossip.
Well that's not the point of the thread. People want a big scale movie with crazy sets and stunts. Mad max proved that shit.
I'm sure the mad max's director think about ben Hur doeing that car chase : https://youtu.be/p86oL3TbQvs

! 4:34 noway the guy make it in one piece with this fall

Extras are difficult to control and organize, it's more of a time thing. It's not just $50 either, you need a costume for them as well.
Didnt they spend like half a year on this scene?
I remember reading they spent several months on training and during filming the stunt men were constantly at risk.
Yeah i heard the same thing
>you will never witness 4 horses chariot race in 1925 : https://youtu.be/y1l5bwoKU8E
The crazy director offers 5000$ (200k $ today ?) for the race winner. Safety standard are pretty bad
